Tracts of the American Revolution, 1763-1776 Paperback / softback
Edited by Merrill Jensen
Part of the The American Heritage Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume brings together seventeen of the most important pamphlets produced by the American colonies as they opposed British measures and policies after 1763, and as they disputed the issue of independence with one another between 1774 and 1776.
The most famous pamphleteers--James Otis, John Dickinson, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine--are here; so too are lesser-known ones. Students of American history and political thought will find in these tracts rich evidence of the colonists' grievances against Britain, their methods of persuasion, and the development of political thought that led to the Declaration of Independence.
A student-oriented introduction presents a capsule history of the events of the period and an analysis of the context of each tract.
